And they pulled that shit with the bracelets for the people staying there to crack down on piling people in your room and not paying extra. So anyone booking there and planning on filling up your room be aware they will probably do the same this year.

What shit with the bracelets, exactly ? I stayed there last year and ended up having 2 extra people in our room and didn't have any problems with the staff. I actually don't think I had any dealings with anyone there except for an incredibly nice and friendly older English fellow working the front desk.

And yep, having a place close by to poop and shower = priceless.

They had blue wrist bands made up with Sleep Inn and Suites on them. When I checked in they told me anyone not wearing them wouldn't be let into the hotel at night. I guess they weren't really enforcing it if you didn't get the same treatment. The staff is very laid back otherwise. I would book there again if I had a bigger crew going this year.

I think we are going to rent a cruise America RV to sleep,party,drive,parking lot rage in + shower.

Now that's a rad investment. Always wanted to do that back years ago.
Would make you helltrek from Portland to MDF in it?

Nah fly there then get one. I hate being places with out my own transportation - so this kills two birds with one stone. Last year me and two others rented a U-Haul van and stayed in that the whole time - worked out pretty good although a inflatable matress would have made it 100% tits!!!_________________HEADSPLITRECORDS@YAHOO.COM

Good to know, thanks for the heads up. If they pull that shit next year I'll just go in with the "official" occupants of the room then go around to the side door to let the other person(s) in.

Ha! Crazy bastards. Years ago I played with that idea several times - renting a Uhaul truck and camping out in the back. Although Depending on weather, it can easily turn into a freezer or an oven, sans insulation and all._________________Speeding Through Hell!

"Here we go with the (almost) last round of confirmed bands! This round includes only 3 bands for the main location (Edison), mostly bands to round out the Soundstage billing, and a few bands for the Thursday show at Rams Head (including the headliner for that day). Our website will be fully updated within the next couple of hours.

It appears that we will announce one (possibly two) more bands for the main location (Edison) sometime in December. Neither band will be a huge headliner, but will be a nice way to round things out. One band in particular would represent a country that has never been represented before at MDF, and we're currently waiting to make sure that they can make it into the US before announcing them.

New confirmations:

DARK ANGEL - One of only a few US shows!

TRIPTYKON (Switzerland) - Exclusive US appearance! Headlining the Thursday show at Rams Head.

Tryptikon is good live for sure, but them and Coffins aren't enough to get me to go to the thursday show considering how expensive everything is this year. It's getting out of hand... $220 for the Edison Lot and Rams head for the three days. Fucking nuts, but the lineup is too good for me to pass on.
